Reset

Although the plot is not rigorous and some hints are too deliberate, it can be counted as one of the best Chinese TV series in recent years. I was totally impressed by the performances of Liu Yijun who acts the police officer. And I must say that the glasses really suit Bai Jingting.

Under China's current censorship system, it is as difficult as dancing on the tip of a needle to maximize the personal capabilities of non-government related roles. This play offered the two main characters plenty of room to show their capabilities, without being overly great, nor politically correct. It also allowed the Chinese police to show their powerful abilities to solve problems and to save people from crimes, which was good. The plot setting was quite innovative, and the design of the opening was also very thoughtful. The costume, make-up and props' attention to detail was commendable. There were some logical loopholes, but the overall flaws did not hide the good side.

If you don't mind the nationalistic vibe, Reset is a pretty good show that manages to keep the viewer intrigued for all its 15 episodes, even on that plot (time loop, basically). Acting was great by all cast, particularly the bus passengers. Some of their stories were really moving and maybe give the western viewer a glimpse on life + mentality in modern China.

Well written script by the scrip writer and performance done by the actors were awesome!!!

I will definitely recommend to other viewers to watch this drama.

This show really needs more international recognition. Not only does it have great acting from a great cast, the story and screenplay provides a novel take on the time loop trope. This is not just about reliving the same day/event over and over again, but also trying to solve the mystery even as the variables and outcomes are changing with each iteration that reveals new pieces to the puzzle. The chemistry of the two leads, as well as the police officers involved, are excellent. In the midst of trying to solve the deadly mystery, they find a way to convey humor, affection, and humanity without being distractingly inappropriate. Zhao Jinmai is a standout starlet here, and hope that she'll find a long, successful career after this.

I generally find most C-dramas to be just poor imitations of their superior Kdrama counterparts, but I am very impressed with the undeniable quality of this show. Highly recommended.
